Kate Moss: Her Allure Photo Shoot

Kate Moss is private, reticent, remote—except when she's not. In this month's Allure, the supermodel and style icon opens up about plastic surgery, rumors about her weight, and the best piece of advice she got from her ex Johnny Depp. Check out these exclusive photos from her shoot with photographer Mario Testino in London.

Moss's much-photographed face has inspired works of art, including a portrait by Lucian Freud, a solid-gold statue in her image, and two holograms. Asked why she thinks she is such a powerful inspiration for artists, she replies modestly, "I must be a bit of a blank canvas." Pause. "Or something." In fact, her skills at interpreting the fantasies of art directors and fashion editors make her as much in demand today as she was 20 years ago. "At a shoot, I'm really aware of everything," she says. "When they do makeup, sometimes I can't see what they're doing, but I can feel it. I know what I look like, even when I can't see what they've done. I know how to compose myself." Fox-fur-and-velvet shrug by Dennis Basso.
